This is a discussion on Vote to Bring Poker to Obama's Attention within the online poker forums, in the General Poker section; If you don't have an account there you have to register but it's quick and easy. Then just up-vote this. We're less than 100 votes

Its # 9 at 5450
Marajuana is # 2 at 7760, are you telling me that potheads have more get up and go than gamblers do? lol

I also voted down on all the ones above it and below thru the next page. Excect the childhood cancer one. But if you think about it, these 2 are connected. The taxes from gambleing would help fund these types of programs.

omg some of the comments in the other top 10 issues are tilting me so bad. Seriously have these people even read the Constitution? Obama isn't the king and the 10th amendment exists.

i guess we should be in favor of the other. if people lose at poker they turn to drugs. if people are on drugs they lose at poker.

But seriously I'm curious why you're against the legalization of marijuana. I hope since that's the case that you're not 'ok' with alcohol being legal?

you realize that legalizing pot in any country would do wonders for their economy:

1. Tourism
2. Employment
3. Textile production
4. Lowering of taxes on gasoline (taxes would come from a whole new revenue source)
5. You would knock the bottom out of the black market and minimize crime
6. paper pulp made from hemp plant yeilds more per hectare than trees and is easier to replace.

I completely agree with ya there. I just don't understand why a country that could stand to make that much money from legalizing it not?

But to not rant, voted for poker. Cool site btw

Voted.

And agree with the marijuana thing. I don't smoke it, but ffs it's not worse than alcohol.
